This blog post explains how to connect the motors to a 10-325 specimen stage. It is very important that the motor and stage positions are in sync as otherwise the stage may hit the end of travel and damage the motor (or break a gear on the specimen stage).

1. Make sure that the motors are removed from the 10-325 specimen stage.
2. With all the motors disconnected from the specimen stage, turn on the card rack power, turn on the 147-interface unit, and open AugerScan software.
3. Move the Y axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage towards the 20mm position.  Move it until you reach the limit, then back it off about 1 turn.
4. In the Auger stage control dialog box, set the Y motor to the maximum + value (+14)
5. Install the motor onto the Y axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage
6. Move the X axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage towards the 25mm position.  Move it until you reach the limit, then back it off about 1 turn.
7. In the Auger stage control dialog box, set the X motor to the maximum + value (+22)
8. Install the motor onto the X axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage
9. Move the Z axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage towards the 20mm position.  Move it until you reach the limit, then back it off about 1 turn.
10. In the Auger stage control dialog box, set the Z motor to the maximum + value (+12)
11. Install the motor onto the Z axis micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage
12. In the Auger stage control dialog box, set the tilt to 45 degrees
13. Install the tilt motor onto the tilt micrometer on the 10-325 specimen stage.  If the sample is not perpendicular, follow the procedure in the 71-205-7 manual or contact RBD Instruments for more information on adjusting the tilt motor position.
14. Install the rotation motor onto the 10-325 specimen stage.
15. In the Auger stage control dialog box, move the X, Y and Z motors to mid-range (near zero) and then fine tune the positions until the specimen stage and sample are centered in the microscope and the Z axis is at the focal point of the analyzer.
16. In the Auger stage control dialog box scan press the Set Home button
17. In the Auger stage control dialog box, move the X, Y and Z motors so that the specimen stage and sample are in the load sample position. Adjust the rotation so that the center tab on the specimen stage is facing the load lock port.
18. In the Auger stage control dialog box scan press the Set Load button. 
19. In the Auger stage control dialog box, lower the Z axis enough so that the sample clears the specimen stage when the load lock probe is retracted.
20. In the Auger stage control dialog box scan press the Set Unload button. 

Calibration complete. 

Note that should repeat this procedure every time the system is baked out.
